Yet, graduatestudents broadly, as well as graduate WOC more specifically, rarely described mental healthwith their STEM graduate advisors (Mousavi et al., 2018; Wilkins-Yel et al., 2022; Wilkins-Yelet al., 2023). To date, there is a dearth in research examining how systemic agents, such asSTEM graduate advisors, actively support graduate Women of Color’s mental health. Extensive research documents the harmful and toxic ways in which graduate advisorsnegatively affect Black and Latinx graduate students. However, there have been fewer attemptsto highlight how graduate advisors can positively support graduate students, especially Black andLatinx graduate women in STEM. Understanding the

Sustainedfocus is crucial for engineering students who must master complex concepts and problem-solving skills. Mindfulness practices help train the mind to resist distractions and redirectattention to the task [30].

Despite this, however, the impact of graduate student mentoring is criticalto their mentees' future academic and career trajectories [4], [9].

Moreover, “measurement is oftenconceived as a mundane activity, and in school it typically arrives pre-formed” [3, p. 723],reducing opportunities for students to confront real situations involving measurement processes.Particularly, first-year engineering students face limited opportunities to encounter real-worldsituations because they are often perceived to have limited experience with the nature ofengineering work [4]. The way in which STEM fields are taught is relevant and they must go“beyond traditional lecture and laboratory instruction, by incorporating rich integrated STEMlearning opportunities” [5, p. 10].

Scholarship (CES) or Community Engaged Research (CER). Ultimately, high qualityCE can span all of the traditional faculty activities of teaching, research, and service. While thisis a win-win in terms of beneficial impacts, it can also pose challenges in the faculty promotionand tenure process where academia traditionally compartmentalizes these activities and research-intensive institutions place outsized weight on the importance of research. In STEM fields,fundamental research (including laboratory experiments and numerical modeling) is oftenviewed as more scholarly than applied research.

In contrast, the shallow slopes observedfor the 45° and 90° print orientations indicate greater variability in the failure loads for theseorientations, making them less predictable under applied tensile load.Based on this log-normal statistical analysis, it is crucial to note the important implication inlarge-scale manufacturing using 3D-printing. Although the sample size in a laboratory settingcan be very limited, typically about 20 in our case, the strength at very low percentile (such as inthe parts-per-million, or ppm, level) can be projected

enrollment course. Research should expand Hartman’s experiences withmore scholarship to understand how these influence faculty assessment decisions, such as usingtests, which our findings will begin to address. Another form of course context is the type of courses that influence the faculty’s coursedecisions. In engineering curricula, courses are typically in the form of introductory courses,fundamental engineering courses, laboratory courses, and capstone courses (Lord & Chen, 2015;Sheppard et al., 2009). Stark (2000) has argued that instructors of introductory courses tend toshape their goals of the course based on nature of the disciplines, and subsequently their courseplanning. In engineering education, however, studies on the types
